A data processing system corrects handprinted character input represented as a sequence of points described by a writing path of a pointing device. The system receives a writing path signal from a pointing device in the data processing system, describing a first hand printed character input. The system performs character recognition on the writing path signal to provide a first character string. The system then displays the first character string in an edit pad area. The system then receives a correcting writing path signal in the edit pad area from the pointing device, describing a correction to the first hand printed character input. The system then performs character recognition on the correcting writing path signal to provide a second character string.
